- Contents in English : Landscape issues are frequently discussed in the context of sustainability, but it is often not clear what contribution Landscape Ecology, as a discipline, makes to the general sustainability debate. Do we as landscape ecologists merely make reference to sustainability to legitimise what we normally do? Or does a landscape perspective provide something that is distinctive or unique in terms of the way we frame sustainability issues or resolve them? The aim of this special issue of Landscape and Urban Planning is to explore this question by bringing together papers by authors from across the science–social science spectrum to debate the concept of sustainability and landscape.
